Although 2023 has just started, E’s Element has already had some amazing pop-up events! We are fortunate to have a very supportive online community. Customers interact with us through our Instagram page, our TikTok, and our other social channels as well as our online review forum. It’s such a pleasure to finally be able to connect with you all in person, and meet some new faces too! While there are still many more Toronto and GTA pop-ups to come, here is a recap of our experiences so far.
January
In January, E’s Element was invited to participate in Laurier University’s ACE Laurier BIPOC event and Pop-up Event. At this event our founder Emmanuela Okon, along with a panel of other inspiring entrepreneurs addressed the university as keynote speakers. This was a great opportunity to share knowledge and stories about being a Black woman business owner. Connecting with students and other aspiring leaders or entrepreneurs is one of the most rewarding aspects of running a business. After the event E’s Element participated in a fun pop-up market with other local businesses on the campus.
February
In celebration of Black History Month E’s Element had the opportunity to feature as a pop-up vendor at Clore’s Beauty Supply Store in Scarborough! It was so much fun to be in an environment of beautiful people seeking products that help them express their beauty, confidence and personal style. This Black History Month Marketplace Pop-up Event we look forward to doing more of in the future!
In the month of February E’s Element was extremely fortunate to be a part of a huge milestone in our business history! Our business was invited by Shopify to travel to New York for their Shopify Build Black Market. This was the first time E’s Element was included in an international in-person marketplace. Shopify created a physical and online space to spotlight black owned businesses of all different industries. As a business that utilizes the Shopify online platform as an integral tool for our online business we were overjoyed to celebrate Black History Month with them in New York! This pop-up was a celebratory day alongside so many talented Black Business owners. We hope that more businesses with wide reach and resources follow in Shopify’s footsteps to uplift Black entrepreneurs.
March
This month of March E’s Element will be coming to downtown Toronto to participate in our latest pop-up of the year! Join us on March 25 and March 26 at 1153 Queen St West Toronto ON, right across from the Drake hotel! We’ll be there from 12pm-6pm with live music, so many other amazing vendors and a great crowd! This is a great chance to connect with our founder Emmanuela, shop for our pieces in person and have a fun outing. We hope to see you there!
